POCKET IMPLEMENT.

Application filed November 2Q, 1920. Serial No. 426,262.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERWIN BLIJMNE'R, a citizen of the Swiss Confederation, residing at Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pocket Implements, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has special r'efernce to providing a holder for safety-razor blades, especially that class of blades having two cutting edges, the object being to provide a holder or handle which will enable the blade to be used as a general cutting implement, similar to a pocket knife, it being possible with this device to utilize blades which have become useless as shaving implements but which are still in such condition as to be highly useful as a general cutting imple- .ment.

The improved mount is characterized by an elastic tongue by means of which the mount is guided in a longitudinal slot of a sleeve-like handle, said tongue being adapted to engage with either of two notches so that-the mount with the blade is locked in either the position of use or the position of I rest.

In the drawing the invention is shown by way example Fig. 1 shows in elevation the folded up mount enclosed in the sleeve-like handle.

pare specially by a rivet Theparts a and a Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of Fig. 1 showing the sleeve, the mount and the blade.

Fig. 3 is a rear view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a cross section of Fig. 1 show: ing" the sleeve with mount inserted.

Fig. 5 shows in elevation the mount with the blade inserted in the sleeve in the position ready for use.

Fig. 6 shows the mount in unfolded posi- The mount which forms the object of this invention consists of two parts a and 2) (com- Figs. 2, 4 and 6) which are hingedly connected the one with the other 6 arecut away at the points p and 9 so that an aperture is i formed through which the edge of the blade projects freely. 'The blade (3 is to be inserted in the mount when the parts a and I) are in unfolded oropen position (Fig.6).

. These parts a andb or only one of the same,

" e, g. the part b, have bosses 0, 0 (Fig. 2) designed to engage with the holes m, n of the v between them areinserted in the sleeve 03 I so that the elastic tongue of the part a slides in the slot is of the sleeve. When getting at the notches h or at the notches i the hookshaped end of the elastic'tongue snaps into the one or the other of said notches so that the mount is securely maintained in ex tended position or in the position of rest.

I claim 1. Extensible mount for blades of safety razors comprising in combination with the blade having two holes, a casing havinga longitudinal slot with a notch at about the middle and a'notch at the lower end and designed to SGI'WB as a. handle, the mount proper for the blade composed of two flat parts hingedly 'connected-andcut away to form an aperture through which the edge of said blade projects, bosses upon one of saidparts of the mount designedto engage with the holes of the blade, an elastic tongue at the free end of the upper of said parts, and a hook-shaped end of said elastic tongue designed to engage with said notches of the easing, substantially.as described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

2. -A device for holding blades having two opposite edges and a pair of separated holes, embodying a pair of flat plates pivoted together at one end, one. of said plates having studs for entering the holes in the blade, one of said members having a latch at the end opposite the pivotal connection, and a tubular'housing longitudinally slotted, the edges of the slots being notched to cooperate with said latch in locking the bladecarrying membersin either extended posi- BLI lMNE-R.
